Professor J. 5. Newberry gives most
marked illustration of what appears to be
development Of instinct approaching rea-

deep IL the ground, and only emerges aft

At Railway, \. j.. n house has been
erected above a spot where some OF these
grrIbs had buried themselves. At the eX-
piration of their period the grubs started
on their way to the surface. but emerged
into the cellar. where they We're vet in the
dark. Ia order to reach the light they
began building small structures, and
when first noticed the floor of the cellar
was found covered with small cones,
some of them more than six inches high,
which these cicadas had built in their eX-
ertions to traverse the dark cavity to the
light above ground.-Boston Budget.

Parents make great mistake in teach
ing their children 10 be afraid of police
men. have often heard them threaten
ing as punishment to send for the brass
buttoned officials to come and take them
to prison. The consequence is that the
little ones learn to regard cop with ter

be surprised 10 know how generally this
sentiment is implanted in the minds OF
children under 9 or 10 years Of age, and
what hinderance ii causes the department
in aiding them To find their homes when
they happen TO get lost. Policemen, as
rule, are fond Of children, and think that
for the latters' safety they should be
taught to look on every one of us as their
friend, to whom they would first think Of
appealing whenever they might be in

The sick in Chinatown.

Perhaps the most forbidding feature of
Chinese life is the neglect Of the sick and
the suffering. Ill fares the coolie that
falls sick in Chinatown. He may be pro
vided with the necessaries Of life by his
society. but of medical attendance or
proper care he will get none. Nearly every
week the police discover some wretched
unfortunate that has been left to die in an
underground den by unnatural relatives
or friends Slow starvation in a noisome
cellar, in the horror Of thick darkness,
with vermin swarming over the helpless
sufferer-such is the fate that has befallen
many a poor creature in Chinatown

Legal Companies VS.. Individual Lawyers

One Of the advantages of legal education
is said to be that it keeps man from
going 10 law, and in this sense the newly
fledged attorneys and counsellors of our bar
will, if they do not practice their profess
sion. exercise a salutary effect upon them
selves. am told by prominent lawyer
that the chances Of a young man for prac-
tice in our great cities have been seriously
diminished by the business like methods
which have been introduced into the pro
fession. The examination of titles, for
instance, is now to a considerable extent
performed by companies, and collecting
agencies do much of the work which used
to give support to the mercantile lawyers.
But Webster's saying, that Il = is room
enough at the top, is as true of the profes-
sion of the law as it was in his day.-Bos-
